Lesson 1: DNA and RNA Structure
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Describe the structural similarities and differences between DNA and RNA, and explain how the structural features of these molecules allow them to store and replicate genetic information.
How does the anti-parallel, double-helix structure of DNA optimize its ability to be replicated accurately?
What structural advantages does RNA have that allow it to act both as an information carrier and a functional catalyst?
6.1 DNA & RNA Structure
Compare the structural differences between DNA and RNA and understand how their molecular layouts store biological data.
